Should there be a Vaultwiki General forum vs. Usage ?

**InformationNirvana** · May 28, 2009

I think users are just posting in the Usage forum ... because they know there question is not about Modifications. Heck, they are just learning about vaultwiki ... and want to ask a question. How about a forum name that will direct them more appropriately ?

Modifications is a new area we are working on because I know some users wanted to contribute language packs for the community. Since VaultWiki has about a hundred hook locations, we figured we should create an area that allows customers to release their own plugins. According to vb.org's ToS, users would not be able to release the plugins there for the commercial version of VaultWiki.

For now, I have changed the Usage forum to "VaultWiki Questions" so that they know they can ask pretty much anything there, not just a post asking how to do something. For now I don't know if there's enough variety of threads there to start segregating "Pre-Sales", "Troubleshooting", etc.

Agreed. A common forum mistake is to have too many forums.
